Brief Childhood History: Lara was born in Tottenham, England to a pair of Pure Bloods, who were supporters of Voldemort, Derrick and Elyixis Dagger. She was a small baby, a 'runt' in their eyes. The father was very adamant about simply abandoning her, but her mother possessed a slightly better heart. She brought her daughter at the age of 1 to a Muggle family who had lived nearby, dropping her off, and telling them not to leave where they had lived that day, so when the time came, she could take her to Diagon Alley to ready her for Hogwarts. After explaining everything, she left the Muggles, bewildered, with her daughter, who they took in as if she were their own, but didn't have her take on the family name on her mothers orders.
She lived with her Muggle family in Tottenham. The Hennets were good to her, but always thought she was a bit off, since if something she didn't like happened, or she was startled, weird things would happen, for example, exploding a teapot her 'mother' was using on accident when she was startled by a car backfiring. She never knew of her parents, until she got the letter from Hogwarts when she was a few months away from being 11, her birthday being in November.
Her mother returned, telling her as much of the truth as an eleven year old should know, and brought her took her to Diagon Alley. Elyixis was rather stand offish to the others in Diagon Alley, wordlessly walking down the streets with her daughter. When they arrived at Gringotts, when Elyixis stated her last name, the Goblin at the front desk seemed to look at the pair darkly then let them continue. A small fortune resided in her Vault, and she pocketed a little to by her school supplies.
Her first stop was the Eeylops Owl Emporium. She then bought her owl, a Black and White Owl, named Bandit. He was a rather large owl, with an near instant attachment to her. He wasn't happy about staying in his cage, but did, waiting as Elyixis brought Lara around to by her things.
The very last stop was Ollivanders Wand Shop. She went in, and after testing around 28 wands, she found her wand. Yew with Phoenix Feather core, 11 inches. This is a very powerful wand, but nearly uncontrollable because of its self-contradicting nature. It has huge potential in any branch of magic but rare people can fully reveal it. As a result, all their spells performed with this wand will be exceptionally strong but totally unpredictable. Unless the owner is a very talented person, he or she can do little with this wand, and even if they are talented, they still may not succeed.
(Credit for the wand information goes to GreenOak's Wand Selector.)
When she first swished this wand, a flurry of brightly colored, blue sparks flew out, making loud popping sounds. She was told that she should be wary of the wand, as it required a very talented individual. She is talented, and whether or not she will be able to fully unlock this wands potential is unknown.
Strengths (Including Personality and Academic):
Lara is very witty, with a good sense of humour and a fierce loyalty to those she cares about, though she can be snobbish to people she doesn't overly like. She is extremely brave, unfortunately to a point where is will sometimes cause her to have a reckless disregard for her own personal safety. She is extremely curious and creative, as was shown in her Muggle Music class while she went to Muggle school. She had a way for sweet talking one into giving her what she wants, and that ability can also be used against an enemy, to tear them down. Lara's academic skills in Hogwarts are Charms, Defense Against The Dark Arts, Care Of Magical Creatures, Potions, and she is thought of as having great potential as a Quidditch Player, as shown by her strength in Flying Lessons.
Weaknesses:
She is very ambitious, but a side effect of that is that she can be very jealous of others. She can also be very rude, and has a hair-thin temper, easily offended. She is very self-consious of what other people think of her. If she suffers a loss, she will react very badly, at first stying quiet, then exploding in a fit at someone who provokes her by trying to speak to her. She doesn't have a green thumb, bad with Herbology, and Divination never really intrigued her.
What House You Feel Your Character Belongs In and Why:
Ravenclaw.
She has the brains, curiosity and thirst for knowledge to be a Ravenclaw, yet is brave and selfless, wanting to do what she believes is right like a Gryffindor, but the scale tips towards a Ravenclaw more.

Hi there! Welcome to HPRPG! Before we can get you sorted, there are just a few things to attend to.
We are going to need you to edit out the portion where you say Lara's birth parents were werewolf death eaters. Firstly, we know from Greyback that werewolves weren't deemed worthy enough to even be death eaters and the books already told us who all the death eaters were. Her parents can still have been followers of Voldemort though, but I doubt the Dark Lord would have actually cared enough to influence their decision in whether or not they were allowed to keep their baby.
If you do decide to keep Lara as being the child who was taken in my the muggle family, there are some questions I do need to ask. Why would the Hennets take in a strange baby left on their doorstep? Why didn't they adopt her and have her take on their surname? How would they have known that her name was even Lara Dagger? How could she have gotten into the Dagger Gringott's vault if she didn't have the vault ket?
You'll also need to remove the personality/academic headers you've inserted into the strengths and weaknesses section and rewrite them so it's all in proper sentence and paragraph form, rather than a list.
Please also choose one specific house for Lara.
Once you've done that, just change the title from 'pending' to 'edited'!

I'll get right to it, thank you :)

Sorry for the wait! Unfortunately there are still a few more things.
You will need to remove all the parts of her parents being werewolves. It just doesn't seem very realistic unfortunately. And you still have a an extra 'personality' sub-header in your strengths that you need to remove.
Once you've done that, just change the title again!

Ravenclaw house is currently closed at the moment. You will be placed on the waiting list, but if at any point you decide you would like your character to be in another house, just edit the sheet accordingly and reply here.
